MASTERPIECES This comprehensive book showcases all the works from the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam that appear in the major Surrealism exhibition hosted by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa in 2021.

Surrealism emerged in Paris in the early 1920s, at first mainly through literature and poetry and later through drawing, painting, photography, performance, exhibitions and game-playing. Developed by artists and writers from across Europe, Surrealist ideas were radical — the Surrealists wanted to launch a revolution of the mind that would lead to profound social and political change.
